The Best of Both Worlds—How to Transform Your Spare Room into a Multipurpose Space That’s Still Perfect for Guests

The elusive “guest room.” If you are lucky enough to have an extra room in your home, you well know the struggle to make the most of this room’s potential. While it’s nice to have space for visiting family and friends, do you really want to devote an entire room of usable square footage into an area only used a handful of days out of the year? That room could be your home theater, office, craft room, playroom or workout space. However, if you do decide to create a more usable space, how can you still offer guests a welcoming place in your home as well? With new home design trends and innovative storage products, along with a little creativity, you can create a multi-purpose guest room that meets both your needs, and those of your guests.

Here are just a few ideas for ways to blend a comfortable guest room with a multipurpose space for your family:

• A built-in wall bed, commonly referred to as a Murphy bed, frees up space and tucks your guest bed away until you need it. If you aren’t interested in this option, sofa beds, day beds, or futons give you seating for a home theater or office while folding out for guests later.
• If you are designing a home office or craft space, a hidden TV lift keeps distracting TVs out of sight, yet still will give guests the option for a TV when they visit. Available in both TV floor lifts and ceiling lifts, these products give you numerous possibilities for creative room design. However, remember that ultra-silent TV lifts work well in any room where people will be sleeping, and your guests don’t want to be afraid of using them.
• Reimagine storage and shelving so that you make your space inviting yet optimally functional. This may require careful planning, but with so many fresh home design ideas on the internet, you can find plenty of inspiration to meet your space’s needs.

However you want to utilize that spare room, you truly can craft a multipurpose space that both you and your guests will love.
